Palace of the Legion of Honor in the morning when reflections are working well. The swan and the water shots were taken from the same image. Shutter speed on that one was 1/800. The columns were shot at 1/500. Converted from RAW. Crop, curves, resize, sharpen.

this is a nice shot, however the last frame, the ripples.. its not very interesting, doesnt do much for the shot.. I'm sure you could have filled it with some flora or fauna around the monument.. also the light would have been better on the swans head instead of the body.. small critiques for an overall nice triptych.
Technically very well done and lovely over-all, but not very compelling. The left panel's subject is excellent but the composition is not great, with the foreground tree taking too much attention. The swan just missed it's light, and the lower right panel is pretty but a bit subtle.
